ArmInfo. At the end of November, a traditional fundraising event initiated by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund will take place, which will be aimed at development of the border communities of Armenia and Artsakh.
The proceeds, as before, will be used to implement programs to strengthen the health system in border areas, supply communities with drinking and irrigated water, and stimulate the development of renewable energy.
At the same time, according to head of the Fund Haykak Arshamyan, this year the component of assistance to small and medium-sized businesses will be expanded. He stated this to journalists within the framework of the event dedicated to the rebranding of ARARATBANK. In particular, he said that according to preliminary plans, if earlier SMEs were assisted in the development of greenhouses in border communities, then this year the list of directions will be expanded.
In addition, it is expected that assistance will be provided to the Lebanese and Syrian Armenians who want to develop business in the border communities of Armenia and Artsakh. "Let's try to be useful to them," he stressed.
